I have stayed in some of the finest hotels in the world, including the Connaught in London, the Four Seasons George V in Paris and the St. Regis in Punta Mita, and the friendliness of the staff and quality of their service is truly world class. Hilario was the first to greet us when we casually walked in the lobby. He arranged for us to see rooms, tour the property, and found us a great rate. Juan surprised us by offering to drive us to dinner one evening when we had not requested a driver. We are so glad that we stumbled upon Mokara and we will definitely be returning. My compliments to the staff and the management that trained them well.

We came for a site inspection for a conference planned next Fall and we are overly confident that it will be a great experience for our guests and an enjoyable experience for us (planners). Perfect location, extremely comforatable beds, great amentities, exceptional service and the flexibility you can only get from a small, boutique hotel!

We celebrated our 30yr anniversary at Mokara, and we experienced the most outstanding service ever. Every staff member acknowledged us by name coming and going, always offered directions and water as we left. We have made Mokara our official anniversary destination every year now. The food where do I start, it was absolutely fantastic, and cooked to perfection. The location is right in the heart of the river walk, and so beautiful. We can't wait to go back next year.

The Mokara is one of the best hotels my husband and I have ever stayed in. The accomodations were perfect and the staff could not have been friendlier. The location on the River Walk in San Antonio was so convenient to all of the other attractions. I would highly recommend the Mokara and am looking forward to returning there someday!

Enjoy the rooftop pool and outstanding staff at this luxurious, small hotel. Rooms are spacious and beds, linens and pillows extra comfortable. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Great location on River Walk, quiet rooms even with lots of activity outside.

For a recent ‘staycation’ my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to an overnight at the Mokara Hotel in San Antonio.

Arrival and check in was quick and efficient. The hotel did not seem busy this particular weekend, which was nice. The lobby is very inviting and front desk staff friendly and welcoming.

We booked a king room overlooking the Riverwalk. While the room is decorated nicely, I must say the size of the room compared to the costs are not in alignment. Being a resident of San Antonio, I should have known the Riverwalk rooms are basically across the street from the actual river and up several stories. So, you get more of a bird’s eye view of the river. This can come in handy if there is a lot of noise from the Riverwalk. These rooms come with a very small balcony, with barely enough room for 2 chairs and a really, really small table.

The staff at the restaurant for breakfast was very helpful and friendly, especially Richard the host on duty. The teams worked well together and provided attentive service, but not overbearing.

No question the hotel is very well maintained, clean and attempts to provide an upscale experience. However, I do think for the money it is a bit overpriced for the overall experience. My bill including the bed and breakfast package, room and overnight parking ($35.00) totaled over $600.00. Unfortunately, San Antonio does not offer a Four Seasons, St. Regis or Ritz Carlton property. The Mokara makes a respectable attempt to fill that void. That being said, I feel they should re-think their pricing and services.
